sunshine6 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I'm in limited contact (work together) and am just starting to feel that "emptiness", or void, that I haven't felt in a long time. Is this a good sign that I'm healing and starting to go through the stages of withdrawal? It feels terrible, but if there's a better feeling on the other side I'm willing to suffer through without feeling like giving in to his attention.
DelusionalOne Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Hi Sunshine. I am 3 months into strict NC. I think a few of us out here have experienced what you are talking about. Someone else described as a feeling of it all slipping away, like dangling by one foot off a cliff. For me, it happened around the 7-8ish week NC timeframe. It's not a good feeling. For me, it was a realization "OMG, this is real. I'm really never going to be with or talk to him again". I'm now at the point where I feel nothing. I'm not saying that's a good thing. I have momentary lapses of pain and then it's gone. I don't know if I'm stomping down on it because I was just tired of feeling intense pain or I'm truly getting past it. Never done anything like this before so I really don't know how it all plays out.
